    Yeah we pay half each for everything and he does eat an evening meal too. I think maybe we will experiment with him eating less or I cook a bit more and he has that the next day rather than cooking something for himself.

    Wow; if you pay half each for everything then food cut definitely be cut back from £400 in total to the £200 i thought you spent in total.

    So is your Sky payment listed in first post also half? This could be slashed by cutting it to lowest package

    Definitely try cooking more the previous evening and he eats the left overs for lunch next day

    Good luck with your debt busting; you will clear your debts it just seems hard at the moment; but remember you will have extra money soon to pay towards your credit card (when loan finishes)
